Package: inetutils-syslogd Version: 2:1.6-3.1+squeeze2 Severity: important
I've a debian system that acts as a gateway for our flat. The syslog configuration there has these strings: *.* -/dev/tty12 *.err /dev/tty11 *.warn /dev/tty10 *.info /dev/tty9 Occasionally I found, that if a scroll lock is pressed on a console above, the system, after a relatively long time, becomes unusable: I can't login via console, I can't get an ip from dhcp server from the gate on my laptop. root@gw:~# cat /etc/debian_version 6.0.8 root@gw:~# dpkg -l |grep syslog ii inetutils-syslogd 2:1.6-3.1+squeeze2 system logging daemon rc rsyslog 4.6.4-2 enhanced multi-threaded syslogd root@gw:~# Using rsyslog is not an option for me due to its regular but rare bug - one/two/../N times a year it stops logging and I loose (possibly critical) logging information needed to find a reason of the system crash (and I can't report it due to no information available). For me it's easier to switch back to old stable syslog. -- Bye.Olli. gpg --search-keys grey_olli Key fingerprint = 9901 6808 768C 8B89 544C 9BE0 49F9 5A46 2B98 147E Blog keys (mostly in russian): http://grey-olli.livejournal.com/tag/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
